Using versions
Our Versions feature lets a document owner make changes without losing previous incarnations of a document. You can use it to:
- Create a new version of a published document or template without having to share a new link.
- See a summary of all changes made to a document by checking the version history.
- Access previous versions of the document.
Create a New Version
To create a new version
- Click the Versions tab.
- Click Create New Version. Your document is saved in its current state as a past version.
- Edit to create your new version.
- When finished, you can save the current state of your document by clicking Finalize New Version.
If your document includes a required task, you can’t finalize the new version of your document until the required task has been completed.
Compare Versions
For any document that exists in more than one version, you can compare those versions to see what has changed.
